Top 20 Developer Tools 2017

This has been a big year for our company with GitKraken taking on the Git world full-force! We know we wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of the developer community. Thanks for not being afraid to tell us what you think, what you like, and what you don’t like. Our mission is to build world-class developer tools, and we need your feedback to do that.

We wanted to know what dev tools our community loves to use. In order to find out, we emailed our GitKraken newsletter subscribers and asked them to tweet their top 5 dev tools using #MustHaveDevTools. We were blown away with how many responses we got (over 550 as I write this, and they’re still coming)!

So, without further ado, here are the top 20 must have dev tools. These results are based on the 20 tools that received the highest number of votes (1 being the most and 20 being the least).

Stack Overflow (23 votes): The largest online community for programmers to learn, share their knowledge, and advance their careers.

If you know our company well, you might be wondering, “what about your Scrum project management software, Axosoft?!” Well, the community we polled is mostly software developers who are more focused on coding tools, but, just maybe, they haven’t seen Axosoft’s fresh new look!

While our developers have spent a lot of time working on GitKraken, they’ve also spent the better portion of this year working on Axosoft v17 Beta, which was just released, and contains significant UI and UX improvements. So who knows, maybe both our tools will make this list next year!
